02 / ABOUT

Description

MusicManiaz is a Lo-fi rhythm game for Windows PC. You don't play the whole song — you play one part of it. Choose Drums, Melody, or All Mix, hit the keys on your everyday keyboard as the notes meet the line, and chase scores on Steam leaderboards. With My Songs, you can import your own audio and a chart is generated automatically (stored locally on your PC only).

History

This is my first game, made entirely on my own. The idea came from listening to music and wanting to play along on the drums; the game is inspired by arcade drum games like DrumMania.

Early Access is currently expected to last about six months, with balance, controls, usability and UI improved from player feedback.
